Chapter 111 The Battle of Weishui (11)

"General, there is a Turkic army fleeing in Xianyang, coming to us!"

"How many people are there? Which troops are there and what is the establishment?"

"There are about 10,000 people. Judging from the direction they came from, they should be the Turkish left-wing army that marched with Datongdao. Behind them, the cavalry marching along Datongdao, but the number is not large, about 1,000. The head general of this army is gathering the remaining troops. When the villain saw it, the front, central, rear, and the troops on both wings had been initially formed!"

Su Dingfang frowned slightly. The reason why this army was defeated was definitely not Li Daozong's head-on defeat. It is likely that the left wing chief general received the news of the main force of the Turks. He was frightened and was afraid that the main force of the Tang Dynasty would come to kill him, so he fled in a hurry. Once he reorganized his army during the escape, more than 10,000 cavalry would cause huge damage to the way.

You should know that although Li Chengdao ordered the troops of Chai Shao of Jinhedao to fight against the main force of the Turkic forces in Yongzhou and block the main force of the Turkic forces' north escape, the troops of Xu Maogong, the troops of the governor of Bingzhou, built a blocking line in Qingyang, and Feng Li of Dingxiangdao finally killed the Turkic forces in Lingzhou, laying three blocking lines at a depth of hundreds of kilometers.

But there are only three defense lines, and the main target is the main Turkic army. For troops like the left wing with more than 10,000 people, the Tang army with three defense lines cannot spend too much energy. If the main Turkic force is let go for more than 10,000 people, who can withstand the prince's anger?

If the more than 10,000 Turkic people who were not paid attention to by the Tang army were destroyed unscrupulously, the entire hinterland of the Tang Dynasty would suffer.

They must be defeated!

"Telection to snipe this Turkic force, only defeat and not chase and kill!"

"yes!"

Su Dingfang pulled out his horse spear and pointed at the ground obliquely. Behind him, all the dragon cavalrymen arranged their military formations in an orderly manner after being ordered.

Su Dingfang narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where the Turks came. At this time, black dots in groups of three or three had already appeared in the distance, and the defeated army was about to arrive.

The reason why he wanted to snipe this Turkic army with more than 10,000 people here and prevent them from forming a system was certainly an important purpose, but another purpose of Su Dingfang was to personally test the true strength of this army in actual combat.

Do they really have the strength to crush all the cold weapon troops in Li Chengdao's mouth?

...

"Chief, the Tang cavalry was found in front of you!"

The fleeing Turkic left-wing army was shocked when they first discovered the dragon cavalry in the distance, but when they saw the formations of these Tang troops, they were overjoyed.

"Tell me the order and rush over!"

The general in charge gritted his teeth and a trace of evil light appeared in his eyes.

The Tang army standing in front of him was very strange. They were only three or four rows deep, but they extended very long horizontally. Everyone rode on horseback and lined up in a straight line. As long as such a military formation rushed over, there would be a smooth road behind them. I really don’t know what the chief general of the Tang army was, which was far worse than Li Daozong’s Datongdao march before.

Li Daozong, who was following behind the Turks, naturally noticed the abnormal movement ahead. He held up his telescope and took a look.

"It's the Dragoon!"

Li Daozong took a deep breath. He had seen the power of the dragon cavalry with his own eyes, and also knew that this unit was the direct line among the direct line of Li Chengdao, far from comparable to other troops in the Tang Dynasty.

But exercises are one thing, and real actual combat is another. Although Li Daozong knew the power of the flintlock rifle, he was the first time he saw a dragon cavalry array. From ancient times to the present, he had never seen an army that was not deep, and directly lined up such an array.

"Go in!"

Li Daozong licked his lips. The Turks at the forefront were only 300 steps away from the Dragoon. This was the shooting distance of the flintlock rifle with paper-shell ammunition and rifled!

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Innumerable gunfire sounded, a fog of smoke emerged from the Dragoon camp, and rows of Turkic cavalry fell.

"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"

A thousand dragon cavalry shot in three rounds, and the gap between them was very short. The Turkic cavalry running with all their might drew out scimitars and bows and arrows, and kept rushing into this death distance.

On both sides of the flintlock rifle troops, two thousand veterans had already raised their divine arm crossbows high and aimed at the Turks from afar, waiting for them to rush into the 150-step crossbow range.

There were continuous gunfire in my ears, gray smoke rising above my head, and Turkic cavalry falling in front of me.

In the end, these veterans began to glance at the young people beside them from the corner of their eyes.

These young men used deer-skin gloves dipped in grease to remove the paper-shell bullets around their waists, sent them into flintlock rifles, pulled the trigger, and the smoke rose, and then continued the same thing.

When the first row of shooting is completed and the bullets are ready to be taken, the second row of shooting begins, the second row of shooting ends, and the third row of shooting begins, repeating and continuous.

The shadow of death sank within this short three hundred steps.

With just one cup of tea, the Turkic cavalry that rushed at full speed could rush to the Tang army.

As long as they rushed 100 steps, the Turks could bend their bows and arrows, and use the sharpshooting technique they had learned since childhood to counterattack this Tang army.

As long as you rush forward 20 steps, more than 10,000 people could use the sharp scimitar in your hand to slash this Tang army under the iron hooves.

But it was these three hundred steps that became a natural barrier.

Just like the war 1,200 years later, tens of thousands of Mongolian war horses and Tatar cavalry who were willing to die and were not afraid of death met even the main force, but the eight thousand firearms troops of the colonial forces, and at the cost of thousands, they received only single-digit casualties from the opponent.

Similarly, the battle between cold and hot weapons occurred 1,200 years ahead of schedule and took place on the land of the Tang Dynasty.

The Turks were shocked, Li Daozong was stunned, and even Su Dingfang looked at the one-sided massacre in disbelief.

The Turks had suffered more than 1,000 casualties, but their positions were not attacked at all. The only few injured dracos were caused by the blast of the barrel.

“Hahahahahahahaha…”

"God bless me in the Tang Dynasty! It's really God bless me in the Tang Dynasty!"

Su Dingfang laughed loudly, waved his horse spear and took the lead in charge. Two thousand veterans of war followed closely behind and rushed towards the stunned Turkic army. Everyone's eyes were full of heat.

At this time, the entire Turkic army of ten thousand people had been defeated by huge casualties and unknown fears. The fragile morale they gathered again was shattered under the massacre of the Dragoons.

"rush!"

Li Daozong woke up from shock. At this time, the army of ten thousand Turks was completely dispersed. They were originally gathered together to flee to the north. Now, in fear, the Turks began to escape aimlessly in all directions, and there was no way to go.
Chapter completed!
